OOH, there was a time when suggesting that the user adds something to
.emacs, like
(setq-default bidi-display-reordering nil)
was not considered obscure. Not everything must go through the
customization interface.
OTOH, you could equally argue that the new font backend stuff from the
Unicode merge slows Emacs for people who only ever edits ASCII, and
that disabling these backends should be an "easily disoverable and
advertised posibility". But currently the only way to disable a
specific font backend is via (initial|default)-frame-alist, and no one
has complained yet.
